Well, the famous quitter from Alaska was all set to dominate the headlines for the rest of tonight and tomorrow, and then the news arrived that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died. While we're not surprised that Mr. Jobs has lost his battle with cancer, we are very sad.
However, we must do the responsible thing and talk about the famous quitter for just a moment. Her apparent statement that she won't run for President next year is something we were certain she would never do. We thought that she'd let the tease go on forever, while she raked in the bucks. So now — although who knows if we should believe anything Sarah Palin says? — we guess we have to eat our words. Fortunately, our words taste like tuna.
Aside from that, our first thought at the Palin news was one of deep thankfulness. While we were hoping she'd run and roil the already goofy Republican race, at least now we won't have to watch the media prostitute themselves over her, and hear that awful, tinny voice every day of the campaign.
Our second thought was that our nutty right-wing friends over at Free Republic must be devastated. But we're not in the mood to enter their crazy world tonight, so we'll check on them tomorrow.
In the meantime, now that Sarah Palin says she's not a candidate, we call on journalists everywhere to cover this one story and then boycott her forever.
